The deep north is the region of long-forgotten and desolate savannahs, a treasure trove of ancient peoples, only partly Islamized, who continue to live in syncretism, according to the most rural traditions authentic.

A universe in itself, waiting to be discovered, and immersed in natural scenarios typical of the Sahel. Fields of corn and millet, baobabs, acacias and mangoes, mysterious caiman ponds and reserves inhabited by elephants and rhinos, small clay or stone houses scattered in fairy-tale landscapes, ancient lamidats or animist sanctuaries, in the shadow of rocky peaks with surreal shapes.

Markets are the core of this small universe of peoples and traditions. If those citizens are the widest crossroads of peoples coming from neighboring countries, such as Nigeria, Chad, Central Africa, those in rural areas are the meeting point of Peulh, Bororo, Kapsiki, Musgum, Hidé, Koma and many others. It’s a real open-air ethnographic museum.
